RI wifi can't be used to play games although there is a way if the boy/girl has an Android phone :evil:

I guess it's too much to hope that my daughter never finds out!

Give your girl an iPhone instead ? Oh wait, think there's a way to play games on iPhones too.. :evil:

Hope we're not making you too worried, slmkhoo..

Wow.. Your boys' Boarding is in Term-1 ? They will definitely love the place and enjoy the experience. Home will suddenly be quieter, especially if both your boys are in Boarding at the same time. But you will have more time to spend with your other 3 kids..

I recall when DS1 was in Boarding, I showered all my attention & 'tender loving care' on DS2, who was taking PSLE that year. When DS1's Boarding ended, DS2 felt so relieved that he could finally share my 'tender loving care' with his brother..

Unfortunately, only one is boarding this term the younger one in term 2. I tell myself I have one less to nag at these 2 terms, not too bad! Haha...

So timely that ur ds1 boarded during psle timing n u can give all ur 'love' to ds2! R both boys in RI now?

No, not too worried, although bad habits are always easier to acquire than break! She actually doesn't have any games on her phone - she had some then deleted them as she felt they were too much of a drain on the battery. She's fairly well-disciplined so I think she will be sensible. If she isn't, that's when I will step in...

I'd prefer it this way too. If two boys go boarding at the same time, you'll definitely miss them so much, as you'll feel their absence so much at home. Now, you can look at DS2 when you miss DS1 (term-1), and look at DS1 when you miss DS2 (term-2). Are they identical twins ?

Despite my overwhelming TLC, DS2 didn't make it to RI. He's in another boys' school nearby, and he absolutely enjoys every moment there..

RI’s (y1-4) open house was held on 23rd May last year, so should be around the same period of time.


For the JC side, open house is tentatively on 13th jan.

For the sec 1 orientation camp, we need to bring 4 sets of PE attire and 3 pairs of white socks. Must they be RI PE attire and socks with RI logo ?

Can wear primary school PE attire if do not have 4 sets of RI PE at least that was for last year. I believe this year will be the same too. Not necessary RI socks. White socks will do. Have fun and enjoy.
